"I Saw A Dragon" lyrics - HELEN REDDY

A dragon, a dragon
I swear I saw a dragon
A green and seething
Fire breathing monsterous in sight
With eyes of red and lions head
And wings as dark as night
He has a jaw of gleaming teeth
He's fifty feet in height

It's true, it's true
Oh what are we to do?
It's true, it's true
He'll break us all in two

Oh he's coming in
His great big fin is right against the door
So board up all the windows
And get down on the floor...

A dragon, a dragon
I swear I saw a dragon
His tail lashing
He'll be smashing
Every shop in town
With scaley feet
He'll crack the street
And tear the steeple down
It's not some looney dream
I heard a scream from sherrif brown

It's true, it's true
Oh what are we to do?
It's true, it's true
'Ole lampie's in a stew

! Dragon, a dragon
'Ole lampie saw a dragon
He's bleary eyed
He's ossified
He's tighter than a tick
He had too much to drink today
So call a doctor quick
I better take him home to bed
Before you make him sick

We're sunk, we're sunk
Go on with ye, ya drunk

A dragon, a dragon
He says he saw a dragon
The game is done
You've had your fun
My dad's been through enough
So won't you all behave yourselves?
I don't want any guff
You're like a bunch of little boys who play at being tough

You'll see, you'll see
You've met your match in me
Oh you always jeer and laugh and sneer
But look across the square
All right we'll go and take a look...

Good lord

Good lord

There's ab-sol-ut-ley...
Nothing anywhere
It was there

A dragon, a dragon
I swear there was a dragon

Your off your hinges
All those minges
Put you in a haze

You crazy fools
It's your doggone fault he's in a daze
Let go of me, let go of me
And mend your wicked ways

What makes you think there ever was
There, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Was a dragon

A dragon
